HAMILTON on CHOLERA.
WAsHINGroN, Sept. 25.-Dr Hamil-
ton, surgeOn-gene-Gl OF the marine
hospital service, said Tonight the arrival
of s single ship al New York infected
with asiatic cholera, need not give oc-
casion for alarm. II his judgment the
health officer St New York will
De able to hsudla the cases
1T quarantine without diff ,ulty.
RE SICK viii, OK course, he said, be
properly Isolated and VIII be removed to
safe place, their clothes and baggage
fumigated and di-jrf=c ed, the s5ip
thoroughly clesnsed ald her cargo re
moved and disinfrc1ed. TIE tX9erience
of the psst, the Doctor said, would rot
De li5ely repeated because The value CT
precautionary measures was now sppre-
ciSt51, their lessons are too well under
stood ty heblth cflicers throughout
the country for them to neglect
to take auy precautions necessary on
sn occ 'sion OF this nd. History CT past
epidamics has shown that It is only DY
the repeated arrivals OF cholera infected
vessels that the disease gained a foot
mold in this country. Il il nOt irdigen-
Gus, snd our climate and soil are net
| tavorable to its propagation, but like
ell contagious diseases, it may be
imported if not Wstcled As sn ilIustEs-
ton OF this fact, it only broke out after
the arrival Of several cholera laden YES
sells, Dr.. Hamilton cited the great cpl
demiC of 1892 He believed the disease
was brought here from Canada. \ ship
b md for Que0ec from Ireland arrive {
at Crosse Isle quarantine in April with -
| emigrants, and having 800 deaths from
cholera during the voyage but not until
after the third CHOLERA ship arrived in
June that disease broke cut or shore. Il
then spread through New York
state and Canada. II n November,
1913. the ship New York from Hayre
arrived withs eleven cases Ct cholera
snd seven deaths on the voyage. The
number OF Cases Increased to twenty tn
mex day, finally reached siXcy-thrce
cases and tWeuty-nine deRthG, but inter-
| setting in quite severely the dIsesse en-
tiTely su5s!dsd. Cholera did not again
visit New York till 1866. fhe
ship Atlanta arrived in November, 1eGj,
with cholera On board, but the disease
did not h-eak out till May, 1866 Two
| shlp9 arrived in April of tb5 year, one
having mad 267 deaths from cholera o.
the voyage and the other thirty-One
deaths Passengers sll brought an i'm
mense amount Of baggage and mercaan-
disc on the vessel. | was at this
time that the disease assumed its great
est mortality ard on Wards sId
BlaCkWell3 island there were IL destAs
from Cholora in work mouse on the
islands, snd the total number OF deaths
in New York was 1912. Those who say
cholera Can De controlled Can be shown
by fact that epidem!c9 on B-ackweIls
island lasted but nine days.
The responsibilities nations in sending
forth immigrants from infected districts
ought not to &c overlooked, and IN his
judgment the time would
CONE when 1t would be con
sideTsd lust ss much an act OF hostility
on the part OF nations to neglect to take
proper measures to prevent the spresd Oi
disease 10 g friendly nation as It would be
TO she'll and fire It's sesp0rts. The cpl
demic which visited South amer
ica last ye8r Wa tracee6Ia 10
this very neglect. Orders have been
sent by the Marine hospital to the na-
toual quarantine stations st Cape
Charles and Delaware hreakWaser, to
detain ana exsmi1e all vessels from ItaIy
and report to the bureau.
